Abstract
A feedback control algorithm using wall only information has been applied in simulations of low Reynolds number (Reτ=180) turbulent channel flow. The present control scheme is based on the manipulation of the vorticity flux components, which can be obtained as a function of time by measuring the instantaneous pressure at the wall and calculating its gradient. The strength of the unsteady mass transpiration actuators can be derived explicitly by inverting a system of equations whose terms depend on the relative locations of the sensors and actuators. The results of the simulations indicate a large (up to 40%) drag reduction. Moreover it appears that using the present methodology open-loop control laws can be devised.
